This description:
It's based on Jujutsu, Boxing and Savate. The outline is very simple:
- Basic attack : Throw him to the ground with a back hip throw (the same as in
Get Tough) then sit on his back and break his neck by pulling hardly on his hair
(/you can put your knee in his ribs and break his arm before breaking his neck\)
- Front attack: Heel Jab (tiger claw) then proceed to basic attack
- Front attack 2: Heel Jab/ punch or swing with rear hand then proceed to basic
attack
- Kick attack: kick / stomp on his leg then proceed to basic attack
- Close attack: the enemy is too close to apply any of the preceding attacks, insert
finger into Adams apple then proceed to basic attack
- Rear attack: it's the basic Japanese strangle Hadaka-Jime
- Knife attack: heel jab with one hand and attack with the knife on the other hand
Then you have some defense
- Against punch: dodge the punches and suddenly proceed to basic attack
- Against kick: jump to the side then proceed to basic attack
- Against bear hug: chin jab then proceed to basic attack
- Against front strangle: arm lock then proceed to basic attack
- Against rear attack: seize his fingers, turn, strike, then proceed to basic attack
Then you have some defense against the knife and the bayonet.
The method is simple: sting with a punch/kick/or heel jab then proceed to the basic
attack.
It's the 1917 hand to hand combat curriculum
